Has anybody played with these? Is the latency acceptable enough to do drum samples?  How much latency can you have before it becomes noticeable?

I've seen some where you give the files a number, and a trigger can be associated with a numbered file.  With a microcontroller you could have an interface to pick and audition the samples you associate with the triggers.
